Ms. Collins (for herself, Mr. Markey, Mrs. Capito, Mr. Luján, Ms. Baldwin, and Mr. Kim) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to
Recognizing November 2025 as “National Family Caregivers Month”.
Whereas, in 2025, there were 63,000,000 family caregivers in the United States who provide essential care to millions of people each year, providing unpaid care worth an estimated $600,000,000,000 annually;
Whereas family caregivers play a vital role in the healthcare system of the United States, supporting loved ones who have chronic illnesses, disabilities, and are aging;
Whereas family caregivers, who are disproportionately women, often face significant challenges including financial strain, physical and emotional exhaustion, and social isolation; and
Whereas “National Family Caregivers Month” is an opportunity to recognize and appreciate the contributions of family caregivers of all ages and to advocate for policies that support family caregivers: Now, therefore, be it
(1) recognizes November 2025 as “National Family Caregivers Month”;
(2) commends the 63,000,000 family caregivers in the United States who provide essential care to their loved ones and chosen family each day;
(3) recognizes the importance of the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers as a roadmap to better support caregivers in the United States; and
(4) encourages all people of the United States to learn more about family caregiving and to support their loved ones and neighbors who are providing care.
